3.		 Important:	Tighten	all	lock	nuts	up	again.
Connecting to the water 
supply.
Important:
•		 The	water	supply	pressure	required	to run the machine must be 1-10 
bar	(0,1	–	1,0	MPa).	Attach	a	
pressure-reducing valve if the water 
pressure is higher.
•		 Connect	the	special	hoses	supplied	 with the machine to the water intake 
valves on the machine. The hose 
bearing	the	“red”	sign	(90°C	max)	
is the hot water inlet and the hose 
bearing	 the	“blue”	 sign	(25°C	 max)	is	
for the cold water inlet.
•	 If	you	are	going	to	use	your	double	 water-inlet machine as a single 
(cold)	water-inlet	unit,	you	must	
install the stopper*, supplied with 
your machine to the hot water valve.
If you want to use both water inlets of  the product, you can connect the 
hot water hose after removing the 
stopper and gasket group from the 
hot water valve.
* Applies for the products supplied with  a blind stopper group.
•	 Open	the	taps	completely	after	 making the hose connection to  check if there is any water leakage 
at the connection points. Turn off 
the tap and remove the nut in case 
of any leakage. Retighten the nut 
carefully after checking the seal. 
To prevent any water leakage and 
any other damage to be caused by 
it, keep the taps closed when the 
machine is not in use.
•	 Models	with	a	single	water	inlet	 should not be connected to the 
hot water tap. Laundry may be 
damaged or the appliance may 
switch to protection mode and not 
work.
•	 If	you	are	going	to	use	your	double	 water-inlet machine as a single 
(cold)	water-inlet	unit,	you	must	
install the stopper*, supplied with 
your machine to the hot water valve.
If you want to use both water inlets of  the product, you can connect the 
hot water hose after removing the 
stopper and gasket group from the 
hot water valve.
* Applies for the products supplied with  a blind stopper group. 
When returning the appliance to its 
place after maintenance or cleaning, 
care should be taken not to fold, 
squeeze or block the hoses.
Connecting to the drain
The water discharge hose can be 
attached to the edge of a washbasin or 
bathtub. The drain hose should be firmly 
fitted into the drain as to not loosen in 
its housing.
Important:
 
						

							EN10
•	 The	end	of	the	drain	hose	can	be directly connected to the 
wastewater drain or to the 
washbasin. The fitting must be 
secured in all types of connections. 
Your	house	may	be	flooded	if	the	
hose falls out of its housing during 
water discharging.
•	 The	hose	should	be	attached	to	a	 height of at least 40 cm, and 100 
cm at most.
•	 In	case	the	hose	is	elevated	 after laying it on the floor level or 
close	to	the	ground	(less	than	
40	cm	above	the	ground),	water	
discharge becomes more difficult 
and the laundry may come out wet. 
Therefore, the heights described in 
the figure should be followed.
•	 To	prevent	dirty	water	refilling	the	 machine, and to allow for easy 
discharge, the end of the hose 
must not be submerged in the drain 
water. The end of the hose must be 
able to take in air. The hose should 
be pushed into the drainage for 
more than 15 cm. If it is too long 
you may have it shortened.
•	 The	end	of	the	hose	should	not	be	 bent, it should not be stepped on 
and it must not be folded between 
the drain and the machine.
•	 The	length	of	the	hose	is	too	short,	 you may add an extension hose 
to the original section. The length 
of the hose must not be longer 
than 3.2 m after coming out of the 
machine. To avoid water leakage 
failures, the connection between the  extension hose and the drain hose 
of the product must be fitted well 
with an appropriate clamp as not to 
come off and leak. 
Electrical connection 
Connect the machine to an earthed 
outlet protected by a fuse of suitable 
capacity.
Important:
•	 Connection	should	comply	with	
national regulations.
•	 Power	cord	plug	must	be	within	 easy reach after installation.
•	 The	voltage	and	the	allowed	fuse	 protection are specified in the 
section	“Technical	Specifications”.
•	 The	specified	voltage	must	be	equal	 to your mains voltage.
•	 Connection	via	extension	cords	or	 multi-plugs should not be made.
B  A damaged power cable must be 
replaced by a qualified electrician.
B  The appliance must not be operated 
unless it is repaired! There is the risk 
of electric shock!
Destroying the packaging 
material
Packaging	material	can	be	dangerous	to	
children.	Keep	the	packaging	materials	
out of reach of children or dispose 
them by classifying according to 
waste directives. Do not dispose them 
together with normal domestic waste.
Packaging	 materials	of	your	 machine	 are	
manufactured from recyclable materials.
Disposing of the old machine
Dispose of your old appliance in an 
environmental friendly manner.
•	 You	may	refer	to	your	local	agent	or	 solid waste collection center in your 
municipality to learn how to dispose 
of your machine.  
Before disposing of your old washing 
machine, cut off the mains plug and 
make the door lock unusable.
 
						

							EN11
Sorting the laundry
•	 Sort	the	laundry	according	to	type	of fabric, color, and degree of soiling 
and permissible water temperature.
  Always follow the advice on the 
garment labels.
Preparing clothes for washing
Laundry items with metal attachments 
such as, bras, belt buckles and metal 
buttons will damage the machine. 
Remove metal attachments or place the 
items in a clothing bag, pillow case, or 
something similar. •		 Empty	pockets	and	remove	all	
foreign objects such as coins, pens 
and paper clips. If possible, turn 
pockets out and brush.
•		 Place	small	items	like	infants’	 socks and nylon stockings, etc. 
in a laundry bag, pillow case or 
something similar. This will also save 
your laundry from getting lost.
•		 Place	curtains	in	the	machine	with	 care. Remove curtain rails and 
pullers.
•		 Fasten	zippers,	sew	loose	buttons	 and mend rips and tears.
•		 Wash	“machine	washable”	or	“hand	 washable”	labelled	products	only	
with an appropriate program.
•		 Do	not	wash	colours	and	whites	 together. New, dark coloured 
cottons may release a lot of dye. 
Wash them separately.
•		 Tough	stains	must	be	treated	 properly before washing. If you are 
not sure, check with a dry cleaner.
•		 Use	only	dyes/colour	changers	and	 lime removers suitable for machine 
wash. Always follow the instructions 
on the packaging.
•		 Wash	trousers	and	delicate	clothes	 turned inside out.
•		 Keep	laundry	items	made	of	Angora	 wool in the freezer for a few hours 
before washing. This will reduce 
pilling.
Correct load capacity
•		 The	maximum	load	capacity	depends on the type of laundry, the 
degree of soiling and the washing 
program you wish to use.
C  The machine adjusts the amount of 
water according to the amount of 
laundry placed inside.
C	 Please	follow	the	information	in	the	 "Program	Selection	Table".	Washing	
results will degrade when the 
machine is overloaded.

Detergents and softeners
Detergent drawer
The detergent drawer is composed of 
three	compartments:
The detergent dispenser may be in two 
different types according to the model of 
your machine.
-	(I)	for	prewash
-	(II)	for	main	wash
-	(III)	siphon	
–	(
)	for	softener Detergent, softener and other 
cleaning agents
Add detergent and softener before 
starting the washing program.
Never open the detergent dispenser 
drawer while the washing program is 
running!
When using a program without pre-
wash, no detergent should be put 
into the pre-wash compartment 
(Compartment	no.	I).
A program without pre-wash should 
not be selected if a detergent bag or 
a dispensing ball is going to be used. 
You	can	place	the	detergent	bag	or	
the dispensing ball directly among the 
laundry in your machine.
Choosing the detergent type
The type of detergent to be used 
depends on the type and colour of 
fabric.
•	 Use	different	detergents	for	coloured	
and white clothes.
•	 Wash	woolens	with	a	special	 detergent specifically for woolens.
•	 Use	only	detergents	manufactured	 specifically for washing machines.
Detergent quantity
The amount of washing detergent to 
be used depends on the amount of 
laundry, the degree of soiling and water 
hardness.
•		 Do	not	use	amounts	exceeding	 the quantities recommended on 
the package to avoid problems 
of excessive foam, poor rinsing, 
financial savings and finally, 
environmental protection.
•		 Use	small	amounts	of	detergent	at	a	 suitable measure for small amounts 
of laundry or for only slightly soiled 
laundry.
•	 Use	exact	measures	for	highly	 concentrated detergents.

Main programs 
Depending on the type of textile, the 
following	main	programs	are	available:
•Cottons
You	can	wash	your	durable	clothes	with	
this program. Washes with vigorous 
washing movements in a longer 
washing cycle. It is recommended for 
your	cotton	items	(such	as	bed	sheets,	
duvet and pillowcase sets, bathrobes, 
underclothing,	etc.).
•Synthetics
You	can	wash	your	less	durable	clothes	
on this program. Washes with gentler 
washing movements and in shorter 
washing cycles. It is recommended for 
your	synthetic	clothes	(such	as	shirts,	
blouses, synthetic/cotton blended 
garments,	etc.).	For	curtains	and	lace,	
using	the	“Synthetic	40”	program	with	
pre-wash and anti-creasing functions 
selected is recommended. Detergent 
should not be put in the pre-wash 
compartment. Less detergent should be 
put in the main wash compartment as 
loose	knit	fabrics	(lace)	foam	too	much	
due to its meshed structure.
•Delicates
You	can	wash	your	delicate	clothes	
on this program. It has more sensitive 
washing movements and does not make 
intermediate spinning compared to the 
synthetic program. It must be used for 
clothes for which sensitive washing is 
recommended.
•Woollens
You	can	wash	your	machine-washable	
woolen garments on this program. Wash 
by selecting the proper temperature 
according to the labels of your clothes. 
It is recommended to use appropriate 
detergents for woolens. 
•Hand Wash
You	can	wash	your	woolen/delicate	
 
						

							EN16
clothes that bear “not machine- 
washable”	labels	for	which	hand	wash	
is recommended on this program. It 
washes the laundry with very tender 
washing movements without damaging 
your clothes.
Additional programs 
For special cases, there are also extra 
programs	available:
C Additional programs may differ 
according to the features of your 
machine.
• Super 
This program washes for a longer period 
at 40°C and gives the same result as the 
“Cottons	60°C”	program,	thus	it	saves	
energy. It is suitable for clothes for which 
you	cannot	use	the	“Cottons	60	°C”	
program. 
• Mini
This program is used to quickly wash 
(30	minutes)	a	small	amount	of	lightly	
soiled cotton garments.
Special programs
For specific applications, you can select 
any	of	the	following	programs:
• Rinse
This program is used when you want to 
rinse or starch separately.
• Pump+spin
This program spins with maximum 
possible rpm in the default setting after 
the water drains from the machine.
C	 You	should	use	a	lower	spin	speed	 for delicate laundries.
Spin Speed selection
You	can	have	your	clothes	spin	at	
the maximum rpm selection on your 
machine by using the selection knob in 
models equipped with an rpm selection 
knob. In order to protect your clothes, 
your machine will not spin above 800 
rpm on synthetic programs and 600 rpm 
on woolens program. Furthermore, if 
you want to skip the spin cycle and take 
your clothes out, turn the rpm selection 
knob	to	“no	spin”	position.	
In machines not equipped with a spin  speed selection knob, the machine will 
spin in the maximum possible rpm in the 
default setting of the selected program.
